This Stanley Kubrick-Alfred Hitchcock Mashup Is a Film Geek's Wet Dream

There's a genre of mildly pretentious film buff who geeks out over Stanley Kubrick films like A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining, and wants to talk about AI as a what-might-have been. And there's another genre of film geek who goes insane over Alfred Hitchcock, constantly streaming Vertigo and Psycho and Rear Window, and re-reading that Truffaut book 100 times.

And sometimes these two groups overlap. This mashup called "The Red Drum Gateway" from a clever French outfit called Gump Studio brings together Kubrick and Hitchcock in a way that is extremely satisfying. It starts with an unhinged Jack Nicholson moving in across Jimmy Stewart's Greenwich Village apartment complex courtyard, and by the time Pvt. Lawrence from Full Metal Jacket shows up, things have gotten trippy.
